Why does my loader layout show 0% forever?

Loader layout requires events to read loadingprogress and update display. Add System → Every Tick → Set Text to int(loadingprogress * 100) & '%'. Without it, you only see whatever the layout had at design time.

Loader layout selection?

Project Properties → Loader style. Pick a Layout, then designate a layout in Layouts. Construct 3 plays it during initial asset load.

Loader on every level switch?

Loader runs only at initial app start. Use Wait For Previous Actions / Async load events for in-game loading screens.

Fix: Construct 3 Loader Layout Progress 0

Quick answer: Add System → Every Tick on the loader layout updating Text to int(loadingprogress * 100) & "%".

You designate a Loading layout. Bar stays at 0%. Construct 3 doesn’t auto-update; you must read loadingprogress yourself.

The Fix

Loading layout:
  Sprite ProgressBar (full bar at design time)
  Text PercentText

Event Sheet (loading_events):
  System: Every Tick
    PercentText: Set text to "Loading: " & int(loadingprogress * 100) & "%"
    ProgressBar: Set width to loadingprogress * 800

Project Properties:
  Loader style: Progress bar & logo  // or Other layout
  Loader layout: Loading

loadingprogress is system expression 0..1 indicating asset load fraction. Update text/bar manually.

Verifying

Run preview: bar fills, text updates. Without event: stuck at design-time width.

“Read loadingprogress. Update on tick. Bar fills.”
